Day 13 (March 22) - FAMILIES
March 22, 2024
Jesus was telling His disciples how difficult it would be for people to give up earthly comforts and family to follow Him. Peter reminded Him that the twelve had left everything to follow Him. Jesus replied, “Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for My name's sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life” (Matthew 19:29). Muslim families extend to aunts, uncles, cousins and beyond.
Ask God to prepare whole families and clans to hear and believe together so they could be discipled into obedience to Christ without having to abandon the natural relationships that are so significant to them. Pray they would embrace Jesus’ promise of better rewards and that as they make the decision to follow Jesus Christ, those they love would follow them (Acts 10:27-48). Pray for a family you know (if you don’t know a family, ask God for one).
